The USC Peter Stark Producing Program celebrates it’s 25th anniversary with a gala event held on the USC campus. As entertainer 'insiders' have long been aware, graduates of this program (also known as 'Starkies') are entrenched throughout the film industry in both the creative and business sides. The Peter Stark Producing Program is directed by long-time Hollywood producer Larry Turman, and only accepts 25 students each year.
